Default Albino knife fish

Hi bros just wanted to ask what do you guys feed your albino knife fish? Mine only eats feeders and refuse mp or sutchi fillet completely. Even if starve refuse to eat anything dead. If this common? Thanks guys!

Very common,staving till take dead meat is not for the faint hearted owner,haha.
My only successful time is stave them while oversea then come back and feed mp,at least not so heart pain.

Let your aro influence it,it helps to speed up the transition.

I used to own them and I fed them live feeders at the beginning but converted to MP after awhile.

Keep in comm.
It helps to force the fish fight for food.
Btw, understand the growth rate is slow.
Anyone know how big can this giant grow?
